    Id love to have both the 15 rders & 1 belt per weight class but if given a choice, Id go for the 15 rders.
    Less contraversial decisions & a LOT of scores settled in the ring.

    15 separates the men from the boys.

    :good

    I agree 100%. 15 rounds was the ****ing business. People couldn't coast those championship rounds, that was when it took serious conditioning and heart.

    15 rounders would be great, but I think what is really killing boxing is the multitude of "champions". I'd much rather see one champ/one division than 15 rounders.

    I went with the belts....and another thing, there is too many divisions. There should be no more than 10 divisions.

    What an impossible question to answer! Both! 15 rounders would be awesome. Nothing worse after watching an incredble fight and finding yourself looking in the bottom corner and realising there's only one round left after the previous 11 whizzed by. One belt per division would also be bad ass but you've forgotten about the poor old promoters. What would they do if they couldn't dish out insipid defences and meaningless 'world title' bouts. How could you be so heartless? LOL.

    **** this is tough. while 15 rounds would be awesome and solve issues with fights, 1 belt per division would solve issues with the entire sport. Multiple champions are killing boxing, not 12 rounders. Just ask Sugar Ray Leonard...

    I've never seen the need to bring back 15 rounders. It seems to me like you can get the job done in 12 just fine, so I'd choose one champ per division to bring some clarity back to the sport.

    And while I'm at it I'd bring back fights that could only end by knockout. Talk about bringing back excitement to boxing. Imgine if someene like Floyd had to knock a motherfuker out in order to win a fight... he'd either step up his offense a lot more during his bouts, or he'd get worn down and knocked out himself. It's a win - win either way. :yep

    I know what your saying, the reason I did the poll is because those 2 things are the things I wish for the most for boxing & Id love to bring back both, it was a hard choice but in the end, 15 rds was my pick.

    One belt. Because for every Marquez-Vazquez fight, there's bound to be a Ruiz-Valuev fight. I'm not watching that crap (OK I probably am I'm a boxaholic FFS but that's aside the point) for 15 rounds

    :huh

    So let me get this right.
    You think we dont need 15 rds because 12 is enough.... but yet you want to introduce fights that have to end in a KO - basically time limitless fights.

    :lol: Good one.
